Senator Dianne Feinstein arrived at the Senate on Wednesday in a wheelchair and said she has to work a lighter schedule due to side-effects from shingles.
A car drove her to the entrance of the Capitol building. The 89-year-old Democratic Senator from California looked frail, weak and pale as aides helped her out. Her left eye was closed.
Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer walked by her side as an aide wheeled her into Senate.
'Hi everybody,' Feinstein said as she came into the building.
Feinstein has been absent for nearly three months and missed almost 100 votes after suffering from shingles.
Side-effects include lingering pain known as postherpetic neuralgia, painful eye infections that may result in vision loss, facial paralysis, or problems with hearing or balance, according to the Mayo Clinic.
Feinstein faced calls to resign - even from her fellow Democrats - amid her health struggles and concerns that her absence could hold up confirmations of President Joe Biden's judges. She sits on the Senate Judiciary Committee, which holds the confirmation hearings.
She has refused to step down. Several women lawmakers supported her, calling it sexist to ask Feinstein - a trailblazing female lawmaker - to resign when many white males have served in the Senate until their deaths.
Feinstein flew from California - where she was recovering in her San Francisco home - to Washington D.C. on Tuesday night via a private plane.

“Lighter schedule”
So,nothing?
Doesn’t want to be in SF. Can’t blame her.
Godfather IV
Term limits are sorely needed/////////////
Shingles? Yeah right.
OMG!!!!! She used to be nice looking!! She nowlooks SCARY UGLY!
Nice looking? HaHaHaHa...never.
Ugly soul, but I thought she was a nice looking old Jewish woman.....but NOW!! YIKES.....she should have gone quietly into the night so we could remember her and what she used to look like!
Better her than Schiff.
Back before electricity?
Selfish woman.
Great strides are being made in Animatronics these days...
Although the plastic skin could use more work.
Looks like Biden in drag
Sacramento Bee article:
“Dianne Feinstein does not plan to seek to become President Pro Tem of the U.S. Senate, a position that would put her third in the line of presidential succession.” Nov 15, 2022
Otherwise, nuclear war would be in the decision making realm of the declining Biden, the totally incompetent giggling Kamala and a barely there Feinstein.
Now where are those anti-anxiety books? “Visualize whirled peas.”
I’m doubting the shingles excuse. Word on the street she was cameoing in a “Tales From the Crypt” movie.
Yeah, what’s up with these Jewish communist women lately holding on till room temperature. I’m thankful Ginsburg allowed Trump to pick her replacement. Let’s hope Feinstein stays alive on until the end of her term. She and Fetterman may miss a lot of important votes.
She was very pretty when she was mayor of San Francisco.
